Orange twist

An orange twist is a piece of citrus zest used as a cocktail garnish, usually for decoration and to add flavor when added to a mixed drink. To get an orange twist, cut off both ends of an orange, then use a spoon to remove the fruit from the inside. Cut the remaining rind lengthwise into quarter-inch strips. Usually, the orange twists last between 3 and 4 days.

Sidecar

The sidecar is a cocktail traditionally made with cognac, orange liqueur, plus lemon juice. In its ingredients, the drink is perhaps most closely related to the older Brandy Crusta, which differs both in presentation and in proportions of its components. The exact origin of the sidecar is unclear, but it is thought to have been invented around the end of World War I in either London or Paris. The drink was directly named for the motorcycle attachment, which was very commonly used back then.
